Heavy traffic is causing delays on both the M56 and M53 this evening (Tuesday, October 27).

No accident has been reported as the cause.

The M56 is most affected eastbound near junction 15 with very slow traffic, but there is also congestion between junctions 14 and 12.

On the M53 vehicles are moving slowly with queues stretching back from the junction 11 exchange in both directions.

Southbound the tailback has reached junction 9 for Ellesmere Port.

Earlier on Tuesday a woman was injured when her car collided with the central reservation on the M56.
